Vertebrae compact bathroom is a bathroom kebab, of sorts
I don't know a single person who isn't in love with the idea of a good Swiss Army knife or Leatherman multitool. Tucking an insane amount of function into a single supertool that folds out for use is a brilliant design principle. That's why Design Odyssey Ltd applied it to the bathroom. The whole bathroom. Need a shower? Flip out the top module! Storage? 4th from the top! Sink? 2nd from the bottom. And the loo, of course, is the base.
The veritable Swiss Army bathroom has 7 rotating modules stacked and skewered to shrink bathroom footprints. Here's how it works: Services are fed from the top of the product through a hole in the ceiling, and waste pipes can be directed through a hole in the floor, or through the wall. It can be installed in a corner (with 100 degree rotation) or you can opt for Centre installation (with continuous rotation for most modules, and 200 degrees for others). Hidden TP and toilet brush storage are built in. Each unit is constructed of 3mm aluminum with 175 color choices in either a matte or gloss finish.
All this can be yours for about $10,000. Visit Design Odyssey Ltd for more info.

I love your posts! I'd love to see this in use at a home..well, not in use. But you know what I mean
Kind of cool, Definately would like to see this!
sooooo, the shower water goes where?

I think you have to stand in the toilet.

I would guess you would have a drain in the floor. Sort of like when you get the hotel room for handicapped people.
hate to 'rain' on anyone's parade but rotating water connections are notorious for leakage.
Need I say more?
P.S. ditto on: Where does the shower water go?
This is the sort of thing you see in Inductrial Design competitions. They look really good or novel but are totally impractical in practice. the basin and toilet are good concepts for maybe a pay-bathroom kiosk or one of those stacking cubicle rentals in Japan.
@jake308:
There's enough room in the pillar that you should be able to use flexible hose, rather than swivel connectors. That does mean that you can't swing the fixture all the way around,
(at least, not more than once) but I'd be willing to live with that. (well, the toilet drain probably needs to be a fixed swivel, but that's not under pressure, so it should be ok anyway.
